The management of Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN) has thanked the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL) Eastern Region Office for its coverage of MTN's operations in the area.
When a three-person team from MTN visited the GCGL office in Koforidua last Friday under the leadership of Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, its Senior Manager in charge of Corporate Communications, they were given the compliment.
The MTN team, which also comprised Kennedy Ofosuhene, the Corporate Services Official for Eastern and Volta, and Afia Serwaa Boateng, an officer in the Media Relations Department, was in the area on a work assignment.
CSR initiatives
The Daily Graphic, the GCGL's main publication, in particular, according to Mrs. Fiagbenu, has effectively published information on MTN's CSR efforts in the area, thus the praise.
In addition, she added, the GCGL had been running MTN's commercials and programmes in its publications. Together with the news coverage, she claimed, they had increased MTN's earnings by making the company very well-known.
According to Mrs. Fiagbenu, "GCGL has been giving us positive attention both in news stories and commercials, which has made our firm more well-known and improved our income."
MTN had visited the GCGL regional office to congratulate the personnel for their enormous contribution to the accomplishments of MTN, according to Mrs. Fiagbenu, who said that GCGL's support for her organisation had enabled the two organisations develop a positive working relationship.
She stated that another purpose of the visit was to learn how the GCGL regional office was doing.
favourable connections
Benjamin Tsatsu Korsinah, the zonal manager of GCGL for the Eastern and Volta regions, expressed his organization's deep appreciation for the long-standing positive relationships with MTN during the delegation's visit.
He said that the two businesses had collaborated on several projects and initiatives that have benefited readers, consumers, and society as a whole.
Mr. Korsinah noted that the Graphic Business Sense Challenge, a project to promote business education and business awareness among students in higher institutions, was now being carried out by GCGL with the assistance of MTN.
He expressed the hope that these partnerships will continue to improve for the two sibling firms.
festival promotion
The Zonal Manager requested MTN's assistance in working with GCGL to publicise such traditional events and stated that GCGL will be contacting traditional authorities in the Eastern and other areas on the celebration of festivals.
In his remarks, Mr. Korsinah cited a few celebrations, including the Asafotufiami of the Ada people in the Greater Accra Region and the Asogli yam festival in the Volta Region.
